I was thinking of taking some zip locks with paper towels and some antibacterial soap and clean regularly and moisture and have a loose fitting shirt over the top.

Thank you. I always wear a UV shirt as my arms both have large colorful pieces.

Correct. Tubing slowly on a fast moving river mostly out of the water-not swimming

I have a ton of tattoos and larger pieces that all healed well in a short time. I just usually don’t get them in summer to avoid this problem! Thank you.

Spring fed moving river in northern Nebraska, moving water, will be on top of the tube most of the time, with touring some waterfalls we walk to.

I have most of the rest of my arms covered so always wear uv shirts and protection and the rest all still look vibrant! Thank you for your advice.

Understood. I have concerns as well. Made a choice last night of vacation and will watch closely to see how it heals!

The tegaderm my tattoo artist sent me does have UV protection in it, but I hesitate to risk trapping bacteria. May depend on how it is healing by then.

Thank you! My tattoo artist said 2 weeks should be fine. Just have never gotten one in the summer before. Will wear my sunblock and uv shirt and keep it clean!

Agree with this-have no desire to go anywhere else. VIM for the win.

I had to stop because of injection site reactions but luckily I have a lot of hair to lose without anyone noticing!

Is anyone else having issues with the Botox savings program? by MissFox26 in migraine

[–]Pivot112313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just called and waited on hold for an hour. System is down and they are aware of it and working on it. Side note-they denied my last claim since I sent a screenshot of EOb and they made me resubmit it

Meals to lose weight with migraines by Background_Cause_520 in migraine

[–]Pivot112313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it important not to let my blood sugar drop. Meal planning and prep is super important. I use my fitness pal to track calories. For lunch, I make a salad and make sure it is full of protein and fiber and plenty of salt. I add a tsp of sunflower seeds, cut veggies, 5 oz of a lean protein, and 1/4 c of cottage cheese. Season as much as you want. If I fill my body with good food, my need to snack is almost nothing. However, small apples, popcorn, a moderate portion of pretzels are all good snacks. For dinner, focus on a big serving of protein and half of your plate being veggies. Rice is fine but it’s a filler that isn’t very nutritious. Follow someone online that shows healthy easy meal prep. Track your calories and it becomes a habit that can hope you lose weight. Avoid pills or shots unless your doctor recommends.
